Gillette Pure

Over the past couple of years I've really come to favor Black Tie Razor Co.s offerings.  The soaps are predictable and oh so nice to the sniffer.  This morning was Casino Royale, a fougere leaning on the sweeter side of things.  My goodness this stuff is great.  This approachable scent lends an air of sophistication without being pretentious.  The lather came quick, thick, and so stinking easy.  If you are familiar with Tabac, you know how this soap performs. As good as the soap is though, where Black Tie/Sir Henry's Sundries really excels is scent.  Every one I own is so well balanced.  I've always wondered why I don't see more of it on this forum.  I own top shelf stuff and this company can hang with all of them AND they don't monkey with seasonal or limited edition soaps so when I find one I like I know it'll be in stock when I want it again.  Sure would like to know how others like this soap too.

Ok Lip- gotta  try it. Vetiver option is good? What about a citrus? Guide me boss

Ha!  I haven't found one I don't like!  Looks like they have a sale going on a couple of them.  An Affair renamed Black Tie Affair is on sale for $12 in the old packaging and is thier most citrus offering.  And Black Velvet is on sale too.  It is thier least complex scent with just a black pepper top and vetiver on bottom.  I like that one just for the roots and is this vetiver fans favorite vetiver.  But the others!  El Jefe if you like leaf tobacco. Casino Royale is luxury fougere. Black and Tan is Tonka and Sandalwood. And Sir Henry's Sandalwood, is lavender, vanilla, and real sandalwood and is my favorite.

Natural Bay Rum v. (Meißner Tremonia) Jamaica rum, West Indies bay, a whiff of clove

Though I've dedicated this month to Italian soaps, I couldn't help pulling out Meißner Tremonia's bay rum after walking on the beach this morning. Just at sunrise I looked up and saw a schooner with black sails clipping along the coast. It didn't take much to imagine pirates on the horizon making for land. If you're about to be boarded by a swarthy crew, it's probably best to at least smell like them.

   

Love your word smithing this day!  Got to guess old time pirates smelled more like a 9th grade gym locker than a really fine bay rum though.Keep posting and I'll keep reading.  Thanks friend!

Ethos Lavender

Love your old Avon decant there.  What is "Lucky Old Man"?  I could use some luck and I'm old so.....

Love the elephant container

Found it in Harrisburg PA.  Looks like someone took a trip to Africa and picked up this soapstone carving and drug it home.  I imagine some grandpa used it as a place for loose change or a jewelry box for his cuff links and tie bars and when he passed nobody thought much about its intrinsic value and it ended up in an antique shop to be found by me.  I like it a lot and itll always remind me of that very successful business trip where I made some lifelong friends.

If you order from our site, we typically throw a sample or 2 of something else in there with it.
